* DuringTheWar: The ongoing UsefulNotes/RussoJapaneseWar. One sailor mentions Russian [=POWs=] were treated better. [[note]]Combat losses in the war also lead to the Black Sea Fleet's best and brightest officers and men being transferred to the Pacific, leaving openings to be filled by officers like Ippolit Giliarovsky.[[/note]]
Added DiffLines:
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Other than Vakulinchuk's death, the mutiny is bloodless with the sailors tossing the officers overboard alive to swim to shore. The real mutiny saw eight of the 17 officers murdered, including the captain, the second in command and the doctor.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Ordinary sailors and the rest of the oppressed masses are good; officers, Cossacks, priests, and the rest of the ruling class are evil. In the ''Potemkin'' mutiny, the white uniforms of the sailors are contrasted against the very dark uniforms of the officers. The ship's guardsmen also wear dark uniforms, but their sailors' caps symbolize their revolutionary potential, which they fulfill when they join the mutiny.

* MookFaceTurn: The mutineers manage to convince the government's battleships not only to not fire on them, but to join them in escaping Russia. Earlier, Vakulinchuk convinces the guardsmen to join the sailors in the mutiny rather than shoot them.

* NoEnding: Eisenstein doesn't tell us what eventually happened to the ship; it simply sails through the other ships of the Black Sea fleet as the sailors on those ships cheer. In RealLife the mutineers sailed to Romania and handed the ship over to the Romanian government.

* NoEnding: Eisenstein doesn't tell us what eventually happened to the ship; it simply sails through the other ships of the Black Sea fleet as the sailors on those ships cheer.cheer (the tone is so triumphalist that it makes it look as though the ''Potemkin'' overthrew the government in Odessa and then triggered the Russian Revolution twelve years early). In RealLife the mutineers sailed to Romania and handed the ship over to the Romanian government.
